I remember Leno and Letterman doing anniversary shows (fifth, probably) at about the same time. Dave's clips were actual moments, often bits of conversation with guests, while Jay's were just a bunch of shots of starts in the guest chair. > What the hell happened to late night talk shows? Probably the biggest thing is that they went from being about conversation to being promotional vehicles for guests. Of course, the LLS shows the limitations of the conversation format, since it requires guests who have something to say and a host who's willing to engage. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
